Hello everyone, I'm about to purchase an Omni Nest but I still have a doubt.
I'm planning on housing a very small species of ants, and I'm scared that the brood will fall trough the mesh and down into the hydration medium.
Does anyone know how thick the mesh is? The size in micron or mesh would be ideal.

Do you mean a Hybrid Nest? Omni Nests don't have a mesh where ants could fall through into a hydration medium. The mesh used in the Hybrid Nest series is:

Yeah sorry, I meant the Hybrid nest. Sorry for posting it here.
Thank you very much for you answer.
I'm planning on housing some small Solenopsis Fugax and their eggs look really tiny, smaller than 0.011 inches. Am I safe to go or should I consider buying an Omni instead of a Hybrid nest?

0.011 inches = 0.28 mm. Are the eggs smaller than 1/4 of a millimeter?
